Parrots tend to be loud - they are very social birds, so they love making noises - the louder, the better.
Even if you love your bird, it might be quite hard to concentrate or sleep well when it sings and screams all the time.
Here are a few tips on what you can do to make it a bit quieter.
Provide mental and physical stimulation
Parrots need mental and physical stimulation to keep them occupied.
Make sure your parrot has plenty of toys, puzzles, and activities to engage with throughout the day.
This will help divert their attention and energy towards these enriching activities, potentially reducing their need to be noisy.
Create a calm environment
Parrots can be sensitive to their surroundings.
Consider covering part of the cage with a cloth or blanket to create a darker and quieter space for your parrot.
This can help create a sense of security and reduce their inclination to make excessive noise.
Relocate the cage
Assess the location of your parrot's cage. If it's placed in a high-traffic area or near loud appliances, consider moving it to a quieter part of your home.
This will minimize external disturbances that may be triggering your parrot to be louder than necessary.
Spend quality time with your parrot
Parrots are social animals and may become vocal when they crave attention or interaction.
Increase the amount of time you spend with your parrot, engaging in activities they enjoy, such as talking to them, teaching them tricks, or simply providing gentle physical contact.
This can help fulfill their need for social interaction and reduce their noise-making tendencies.
Seek professional advice
If the noise problem persists despite your efforts, it may be helpful to consult with a veterinarian or an avian specialist.
They can provide specific guidance tailored to your parrot's needs and behavior.
They may also identify any underlying issues that could be contributing to the excessive noise and suggest appropriate solutions.
